Any chance for Myles to consider joining VR?

[Koskenkorvasieni]

Myles has been touring with Slash now for what, two years? I was impressed with his voice since I first heard him sing with Slash. He's no Axl, but he has the range and the power and a unique sound of his own. These days that's a rare thing to come by.

[FanSince87]

He's getting a bunch of great reviews to spite the guy who wasn't there.

Pretty normal procedure. The biased ones who were told there's no reunion, now need to show how the persons who weren't there, and especially one, wasn't needed after all.

Yeah right!

That's your assumption.  Many others feel he got great reviews because he did a great job.   Why does a good review of Myles have anything whatsoever to do with Axl?  And what did you expect them to do, play instrumentals because Axl bowed out?  Why should they let Axl determine if they're going to perform?  I think Myles did a great job.   Of course fans would've preferred Axl but he wasn't there.

Wow! Just wow! And you have the balls to accuse anyone who says the least bit negative thing about Axl of having an agenda? You lose credibility with each post I read of yours my friend.

I think some of the reviews are genuine and others are in fact just to spite the members who didn't show up.  A friend of mine who could care less about the current GNR situation who saw it  thought Myles sounded great.  Myles did hit all of the notes and sounds terrific singing live, however if we are talking about all the intangibles like heart, passion  and balls Myles doesnt have any of them when it comes to GNR material.  He is like Matt Sorum on drums, he nails it perfectly but there is no soul in it.

I thought Myles sounded about as good as could possibly be expected. He's no Axl, but no one can sing GN'R like he can.
Even if Myles voice was identical to Axl's though, not sure you could expect him to match the heart and passion of the guy who wrote the songs.
He has a totally different demeanor to Axl as well. He's certainly no throwback to the great frontman/showman of yesteryears, but aside from Scott and Axl, their extinct.
As for Matt, I think his reputation has eroded unfairly over the years. His drumming on tracks like YCBM and Locomotive hold up to anyone to ever play behind the GN'R kit.

Your last two lines are why many fans of the AFD lineup prefer that lineup to the current one, that is until the current one release their own stuff.  When Slash played his solos, they were filled with heart and soul.  But of course he wrote them.  When I hear Buckethead or DJ play them, they sound technically fine but they are missing that soul that Slash put into them.  But again, he wrote them and the new guitarists are covering someone else's work which is why I am looking fwd to hearing what DJ has written for whatever new stuff may finally await us.

Hypocrisy reigns on these boards.  I think there's some insecurity or something.  If you praise anyone that isn't in the current GnR lineup, it's taken as though you're somehow bashing the new lineup.  You can like Myles and love the original lineup while still also liking the current lineup and vice versa.  They are not mutually exclusive.  Too bad some ppl on here don't get that.

[Hudson]

I don't understand why people cannot be objective. I prefer the original line up with Axl. That is my preference, others can have theirs for their own reasons and I respect their opinion. With that said  I think that the new line up is great, play the old and new material great, have great chemistry. As long as it makes Axl happy amd they perform and record music i am cool. Let's see what material they put out in the future.

Myles is not Axl and no one is saying he is,  but he is pretty amazing and sings the GnR material better than anyone else I have heard except Axl. The HOF performance  rocked plain and simple, so if you want to say Myles sucked you are talking shit and just hating. If you don't like when people hate on GnR don't do it to the ex members when it is uncalled for. One thing is saying Steven is an idiot because he talks a lot shit, but don't tell me did not perform well at th HOF and was actually respectful. Give credit where credit is due and don't talk shit because you will lose all credibility and sound like a Steven Adler.

lol oh stop it.

i know my post was deleted in the hall of fame thread so i'm sure it will be deleted here too but Miles brought it.  The songs sounded like they were actually written and Miles sounded just as much as Axl did back in the day as Axl does now (well on Brownstone and Child anyway).

Anyone who says they didn't do a great job is just an Axl cocksucker who can't see anything in a positive light when it comes to the past members, IMO.

Look at the above post.

This is the kind of stupidity I have to put up with.

"I expect my post to be deleted. Poor me!".

But nobody pays attention to the fact that he refers to other members of the board as cocksuckers.

Only a complete fucking moron would think the post was removed because he suddenly thinks the stand in for Scott Stapp is the savior of rock.


Regarding people whining about not being able to hate Axl and GN'R, well it's a GUNS N' ROSES site, not a Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the whateverthefucktheyare called site.


If you only came here because of Myles Kennedy, I got news for you, go look for something to do with his band. GN'R isn't it. No matter how much the Slash fans want to fool you.

Wow! Just wow! And you have the balls to accuse anyone who says the least bit negative thing about Axl of having an agenda? You lose credibility with each post I read of yours my friend.

Yeah, I don't think he's anything that amazing. He might be talented, but singing GN'R isn't for him.

He lacks the grit, the balls, the attitude. Sorry if that offends you.



Yes, in my opinion some of you are giving him and the former members a lot of understanding.

Everything you're saying about this guy, was said about the previous guy (Weiland).


I'm not a fan of either one.

He kicked major fucking ass and did his very best for the guns alum and guns fans. He is just a good dude,  killer singer, and very humble.

If you're only interested in GNR 2012 I don't even know why you care about the kind of reviews they got. 

Of course there are a lot of people that wanted Axl there.

But there are also people that don't care that Axl didnt show up and just enjoyed the show.  (maybe its hard for you to accept that)

[Hudson]

Jarmo, aside from Axl. Who do think can sing GnR songs and do them justice if you don't think Myles does a good job? Out of all the guys we have seen IMHO is probably the best after Axl that I have heard. Scott was surprisingly decent on a few GnR songs  but he can be inconsistent at times and does not have the range or pipes Myles does. I can understand you not being happy he performed, but i think he deserves some credit. The one critique I have about Myles is that I do wish he was a bit more animated on stage, but his voice is on the money.

[jarmo]

You can have technical ability, be a nice guy, be talented and so on, but in this case in my personal opinion something is missing. That "it" thing.

Weiland might not be technically as good vocalist, but he makes up for it by doing every pose and move from the Jagger/Iggy/Bowie book. He tried hard to have "it".

[wadey]

Kennedys just average in my opinion. His voice is just too bland for rock especially hard rock
I know he has his own style but he just doesnt do it for me

I hear what you are saying. I personally don't think Myles belongs on the same internet as Axl and Scott, lyrically or showmanship wise.
That said, I do enjoy what I have heard from him so far working w/Slash, and thought he was as good as could be expected, maybe better, at the induction ceremony.

I think there could be a couple reasons you didn't see him snake dancing all over the stage that night, though.
One could be that it's just not his personality, but also, he knew the crowd was really there to see members/former members of GN'R.

Anyways, I agree he's no Axl or Scott, but if we held everyone up to those guys, we wouldn't have much other music to listen to.

[Bodhi]

I think Myles just does the job he is hired to do. He hits all the notes and doesn't get in the way or take attention away from  Slash playing the solos that everybody is paying to see.

And that's exactly my point.  Who on here is "hating" on Axl and GnR?  I've seen people saying they liked Myles.  I've seen you say you don't like Myles.  And then there's posts like this where you accuse ppl of hating Axl and GnR by virtue of praising Myles or Slash.  Newsflash: it's very possible to like Myles and Slash and still also like Axl and the current GnR lineup.   Your post shows that you understand that principle.

[Falcon]

It seems as though The Savage Animal did a couple of GNR classics last night in Paraguay with
the Rock N Roll All stars tour.

Any feelings on that anyone? 

Does he have enough balls, grit, swagger, attitude and fist pumping vigor to be allowed to sing these songs with the likes of Duff, Matt and Gilby?

[overmatik]

1. I would not like to see Myles on VR.

2. The Hall of fame gig was OK, but as I said before, it was wrong because only Gunners were supposed to be on that stage.

3. The feeling Jarmo got by seeing Myles standing in for Axl is the same feeling that I have when I see other guys standing in for Duff, Slash, Izzy and Steven. I think now he knows how some of us feel...
